138 TEE MOTION PICTURE STORY MAGAZINE Harry Meyers has also broken into staid Connecticut. Not a burglary, but Miss Anna F. Shotwell claims that his face is his fortune in New London. Mr. Chester Haile, supervisor of the Amicable Life Insurance Co., "Waco, Texas, believes that Ormetta Hawley, of the Lubin Co., could carry the Lone Star State in any kind of a contest, and sends a big batch of votes to prove it. San Antonio is of the same opinion, with 280 votes from a club of admirers. Brooklyn, N. Y., people are outspoken enthusiasts. Herbert Klens affirms that Miss Helen Gardner is the girl who is making Thackeray famous by her brilliant interpretation of Becky Sharp. From Utah, the other side of the continent, Albertine Brangham, 385 East Sixth Street, Logan, sends her votes and her cordial thanks for Helen Gardner's magnificent portrayals. Illinois, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania are just as emphatic. Looks like a conspiracy to appreciate fine talent. Elizabeth Ayres, 4003 Worth Street, Dallas, Texas, sends her votes and three cheers for Gene Gauntier; and, furthermore, bids us not overlook her. We couldn't; our files are overflowing with enthusiastic letters about her. Permanent stars need no astronomers. Miss Leah M. Reynolds, Norwich, N. Y., states that Gene Gauntier may have financial backing also: For I like the Motion Picture plays, Of them I've seen many. And to Gene Gauntier I'd give My last and only penny. We have not sufficient space in an entire edition of the magazine to print extracts from the partisans, admirers and voters of Alice Joyce. Versailles, Ky., in the person of James W. Fisher, states that it is getting to work seriously on sending in votes for Alice Joyce. This isn't serious work; it's pure joy in such a cause. This sounds like a proposal : To the Girl I Love, Alice Joyce : Here's to the lilies that snow on her brow ; Here's to the violets that bloom on her eyes ; Here's to the roses that stain her fair cheeks, And her soft, sweet lips, with their crimson dyes ; And here's to the Girl I Idealize — Alice Joyce ! However, Mrs. H. E. Sheckels, Pittsburg, Pa., is the donor. This fair champion of Arthur Johnson sees him in a new light. Witness: IT'S IN THE RING! Arthur Johnson, dainty, clever, Johnson, Arthur ! gentle ever, Smiling sweetly, frowning deeply, Laughing cutely, sighing mutely, You are, forsooth, the lever Your fascinations sever That pries me from my fiat. The hatpins from my hat ! Evangeline Smith, of Sheridan, Wyoming, is moving the local mountains for Earle Williams: I have seen you in the pictures, Just because you're strong and manly, I have seen you in my dreams ; Just because your eyes are brown, Your face shines out, like some bright star, You can bet that you're my favorite On the Moving Picture screens. Of the pictures in our town.
